First off - Milo is OK. 5am yesterday morning the good neighbors called and woke me to come colled the little beast. He was hissing and scratching at them and very scared, but otherwise unharmed. I'll plug the hole he went through here soon and that will be that.
That left me all of three or so uninterrupted hours of sleep the night before Frank and Laura's wedding. Yay!
I ran all over creation assembling the 'costume' part. Someday I'll find that invitation to get the exact wording, but both Julie and I perused it and it was something to the effect of 'Come dressed in something you wouldn't wear everyday, Surprise your friends, change your haircolor'. Julie at first thought it was a joke so I verified with Frank and Laura that a modest 'costume' would be okay. They said it would be great.
Naturally we were the only cowboy and 'hussie'(her word not mine) there. Jeremy did a 'professor' get up, and everyone else came dressed in wedding clothes... And we pulled it off! Julie had made here own skirt and was wearing a corset, I had shaved to a more old-west look and had a vest and a cwboy hat, we both got lots of compliments - especialy Julie's 'dress' which was really her hand-made skirt and corset, and people said I looked 'sharp'. Go Us! We rocked.
And so did the wedding!!! It was way casual - and that was tres perfect for Frank and Laura. The vows were short and to the point. Josh officiated with Laura's best friend Alicia(sp?). Jono, Laura's brother, parents, and pretty much everyone made funny and touching speeches. It was grand.
We came home and crashed immediately (Julie was asleep in the cab).
And to day I took off as me-time and went t the met - but that will be another post - probably later tonight.
Wonderful times.
